"In 1807, he achieved a ban on British slave trade."
Explanation: Wilberforce led the parliamentary abolitionist campaign, using speeches, bills, evidence-gathering, petitions and public mobilization. That effort culminated in the Slave Trade Act of 1807, which prohibited the transatlantic slave trade by British ships. (A later milestone, the Slavery Abolition Act of 1833, ended slavery in most British colonies, passed the year he died, but the 1807 act is the specific 1807 achievement.)
